Landslide is one of the major natural hazards which is experienced all over the world and causes huge losses to land and property. Most of the landslides are generally caused by multiple factors which act together to destabilize the slope. But among them, the most common trigger for the landslides have been excessive rainfall and no proper planning have been leading to disastrous outcomes. So, in this paper we will mostly focus on the landslides which are induced due to rainfall to find a solution to the problem. This paper presents a survey on the challenges being faced in the prediction of Rainfall induced landslides. Also our objective is to find relevant approaches and techniques from the survey and judge the best possible method and algorithms which gives the most accurate results.
